MET Gala 2015: Welcome to China Town

Text by Shubham Ladha

The MET Ball 2015 saw starlets interpret the East in their own original ways. Verve gives you the complete lowdown

The global fascination with all-things-Chinese extended up to the Met Ball as this year’s theme was ‘China: Through the Looking Glass’. Over 600 guests made their way into the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and we loved fashion’s varied adaptations of the East. While you wouldn’t have missed Rihanna’s ‘omlette’ memes on social media, and SJP’s fiery headgear, we give you our list of the most memorable looks on the red carpet.

Beyonce left little to the imagination in this Givenchy Couture gown, putting her toned assets on full display. We loved the strategically placed candy-coloured gemstones, power pony and perky pink lips.

Rihanna took over the red carpet in her canary yellow cape-style coat made of silk satin, applique sequins and fur edges. Its regality was heightened by the metallic, floral-shaped headpiece and gold choker necklace.
